It could be that the tire is leaking air, but the leakage is not obvious enough to be observed with the naked eye; or the tire pressure system sensor might be faulty, causing a false alarm. What to do if tire pressure is insufficient: If no damage is visible on the car's tires, simply inflate them to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If inspection reveals that the tire has been punctured, drive to a car repair shop promptly to have it patched before reinflating. If the tire pressure warning reappears some time after inflation without any visible puncture, it might be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is advisable to check the rim and replace it if necessary. How tire pressure monitoring works: Pressure sensors installed inside the tires measure the air pressure, and a wireless transmitter sends the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module.

Under What Circumstances Does an Engine Need an Overhaul?

An engine needs an overhaul under the following circumstances: 1. Severe oil consumption with blue smoke emission, but no oil leakage; 2. Heavy black smoke emission from the engine; 3. Knocking sounds from the connecting rod bearings (big and small ends), severe wear of small bearings, and significant crankshaft wear; 4. Scuffing noises indicating severe damage between pistons and cylinder walls. The engine is the device that provides power to the vehicle, determining its performance, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. Methods for maintaining a car engine include: 1. Regularly changing engine oil and filters; 2. Using lubricants of appropriate quality grades; 3. Periodically cleaning the radiator; 4. Maintaining the three filters (air, oil, and fuel); 5. Ensuring good crankcase ventilation; 7. Regularly cleaning the crankcase; 8. Periodically cleaning the fuel system.

What to Do About Engine Cylinder Scoring?

Engine cylinder scoring treatment method: Replace the cylinder block and piston. Engine cylinder scoring is a very serious engine failure, referring to deep grooves being scratched on the inner wall of the cylinder, causing the piston, piston rings, and cylinder wall to lose their sealing ability due to friction. This results in reduced cylinder compression pressure and loss of power. If the symptoms of cylinder scoring continue to be used, the condition will only worsen. Causes of engine cylinder scoring failure: 1. Engine cooling system leaks or lacks water, failing to replenish in time, leading to engine overheating; 2. Engine oil level is too low, causing loss of cylinder sealing and lubrication function; 3. Piston ring breaks, scratching the cylinder wall; 4. Piston pin retaining ring falls off, scratching the cylinder wall; 5. Use of inferior fuel; 6. Piston pin protrudes, scratching the cylinder wall; 7. Foreign objects enter the cylinder; 8. The fit clearance between the piston and cylinder wall is too small; 9. Piston pin assembly is too tight, causing piston deformation; 10. Engine operates at high speed or under overload for a long time; 11. Severe thermal deformation or melting of the piston top.

What are the symptoms of a small amount of water entering the engine?

Symptoms of a small amount of water entering the engine: 1. Vehicle stalling while driving: When the vehicle experiences a loss of power during acceleration or suddenly stalls while driving, it is generally due to water entering the engine combustion chamber, causing the spark plugs to malfunction; 2. Brake failure: If the vehicle exhibits symptoms of weak braking or complete brake failure, it is possible that water has entered the brake fluid, causing it to vaporize under high temperatures; 3. Engine oil turning white: Normal engine oil is light yellow or colorless. If the oil turns white or becomes cloudy, it may indicate the presence of water; 4. White smoke from the exhaust pipe: When water enters the engine fuel or cylinders, the high temperatures generated by the engine's operation will vaporize the water, forming steam that is expelled through the exhaust pipe.

What is engine misfire?

Engine misfire may be caused by issues such as poor valve sealing, spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, or piston ring sealing problems. Engine misfire primarily refers to one or more cylinders in the engine not functioning properly, typically manifested as: 1. Noticeable abnormal engine operation or insufficient power; 2. Uneven engine operation and rhythmic shaking at high, medium, and low speeds; 3. Black smoke and backfiring from the muffler. Engine misfire operation can cause significant harm: 1. Decrease in engine speed and power; 2. Increased fuel consumption and emission pollution; 3. Accelerated wear of operating components, shortening the service life of lubricating oil.

What is the difference between parking gear and handbrake?

The differences between parking gear and handbrake are: 1. The engine can only be started when the gear lever is in the P or N position. To move out of these positions while the ignition is on, you must press the brake pedal and simultaneously press the handle button. 2. Vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions cannot be started by towing. Due to the flexible connection between the torque converter and the engine, the transmission cannot rotate the crankshaft in reverse. 3. The P gear can serve as an auxiliary brake to the handbrake but cannot replace it. For prolonged parking, the gear lever should be placed in the P position while the handbrake must be engaged. 4. For short-term stops while driving, you can leave the gear in D and hold the brake pedal; there is no need to shift to P gear.

What are the symptoms of engine misfire?

Symptoms of engine misfire: 1. Abnormal engine operation or insufficient power; 2. Uneven operation with rhythmic shaking; 3. Black smoke from the muffler. Hazards of misfire: 1. Decreased engine lubrication; 2. Increased fuel consumption and emission pollution; 3. Accelerated wear of moving parts and increased abnormal shaking. Engine misfire can lead to high fuel consumption, black smoke, lack of power, decreased horsepower, inability to accelerate, severe shaking, increased driving noise, and poses significant safety risks, especially on uphill starts where the engine load increases, making the body shake more noticeably and prone to sudden stalling.
